This two part tutorial, was inspired, by my personal and business challenges, when setting up my knitwear label, Eclectic Mix back in 2006. I was amazed and puzzled by the lack of information available. Thankfully, I was blessed with a fantastic Business Adviser at Hackney Business Venture, who had access to a few pages of specialised information about the knitwear industry that I could at least use as a starting point!

Who are these articles for?
I state at the beginning of the article, that whether you are a knitwear designer, crafter or some other type of creative, these articles will be useful to you and include information on a vast range of subjects, including the following; Resources for a Fashion Knitwear Business, Unique Selling Proposition, The Relationships you need to survive in business, how to present your business proposal within a brief document, made up of creative visuals, as an alternative to a traditional business plan. Last but not least, in part two of the article, some essential useful contacts specific to the knitwear and creative industries, including manufacturing sources. I hope, that reading these articles will contribute in some way to the setting up or growth of your creative business.
